coming out of hiding (had some personal blows that I'm trying to deal with myself) to just say that I think you are completely brave, strong and just a fantastic person. You exude confidence from your words and your empathy for other people is fabulous. With all you've been through you could have gone in a totally different direction and blame everyone and anything you could for paths that were taken, but you didn't. You are to be commended and I for one do.
I think the first step in healing is definitely getting things out! And I have been where you have been and sometimes can be that way. I try not to burden people with my pain so I tend to internalize everything, which is why I’m sick a lot etc. Most people that meet me think I’m happy go lucky, I have no problems, I’m just on top of the world, they aren’t privy to the inner pain I feel it makes me feel weak.
You have guts girl and we all think you are the cat’s meow! I wish I were more like you!
Keep up the great work on finding YOU! And in developing the body you want as well, you are truly a star.

Dee, thank you so much for your response.
Stephanie- thank you for feeling so confident in us to share all you have.
Congratulations on taking that first step to becoming *you*!
You know I often hide the inside of me from others too- I think it's from being from a family that rarely discussed feelings and the like, so I can relate to you on the hiding.
I'm going to be praying and hoping for you in the future too- you sound like you're on the right road to happiness, just needing some words of encouragement to help you along the way.
It must have been difficult for you to face you Dad recently, and from what you said you did, I believe you are tackling this the right way. You have given him the no communication warning in the past, but perhaps now is not the time to take it away from him. 14 years of sobriety....his starting to drink again

IG ~ thanks a million.
I'm sitting here thinking. Wow! I don't internalize anything. I'm the type of person that will go crazy, so I have to get it off my chest. lol.
I tell anyone who'll listen to me my issues, cuz for me, its like I'm giving it away.
How strange. I wonder how bad it is that I do that. lol.
Hugs on your journey. I'm still working on mine. Started 2 years ago.
